With this module, your resellers will be allowed to acquire their own customers and assign products, services and domains to them.
Thanks to that, end clients will be able to easily order services directly from your WHMCS.
Moreover, they will be able to log in to their own WHMCS account in order to manage their services, pay invoices or even create tickets.

No worries, we will guide you step by step through the entire installation process.

Note: If you are still using any of Resellers Center For WHMCS previous versions prior to v3.x, read about it here.

Note: You can check current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.

The content of PHP version files should look like this.

File is located in 'modules/addons/ResellersCenter/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen.
You can find your license key in your client area → 'My Products'.

It is located in 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/ResellersCenter/'.

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'Setup' then choose 'Addon Modules'.
Afterwards, find 'Resellers Center' and press 'Activate' button.

To do so, select admin roles which should have access to the module.
You should also enable hooks to ensure that the all module's functions work correctly.
Optionally, choose whether you want to allow your reseller's end-clients to make orders in your main store or force to make purchases only through the reseller's store.
Press 'Save Changes' when ready.

What is more, the module extends possibilities of both your resellers and their customers.
Let us find out what our product can do!

Additionally, here you can also read about the details of migration.

Please note that these settings are default for all resellers. Read this section through to find the details of configuration per each reseller.

Note: Version 3.x currently supports migration from version 2.5.x module and it will only transfer data on resellers, resellers' clients and resellers' groups.
Therefore, the other settings of the module need to be reconfigured manually.

To perform the migration simply overwrite old files to the latest version of the module and refresh the addon page in the admin area.

We will show you how to set up key options to ease the module's handling processes.

To do so, proceed to 'Pricing Groups' tab and click the button as shown below.

To add a new product press the button as presented below.

• Edit Pricing (1)
• Edit Calculation Method (2)
• Delete Product (3)

You can define pricing using the below options:

• Admin Price - price set for a product (it may be lower than what reseller sets when this difference will be the basis to calculate profit)
• Highest Price - maximum price which can be set for a product
• Lowest Price - minimum price which can be set for a product

To confirm settings press 'Save' .

• Fixed Rate - profit that your reseller always gets
• Difference - between reseller's and admin's price
• Percent Rate - percentage of reseller's price
• Percent From Difference - a sum of reseller's price percentage and a difference between reseller's and admin's price
• Admin Percent With Fixed Rate - a sum of admin's price percentage and a fixed rate
• Reseller Percent With Fixed Rate - a sum of reseller's price percentage and a fixed rate

To confirm settings press 'Save' next to the product you have configured

Click a right button to add a new addon.

You can use it to assign any client to a reseller's group, that will activate them as resellers.
Click the button as shown below to create a new reseller.

Apart from clients, you can manage here also invoices, transactions and services.

Please note - this tab is only used if the 'Reseller Invoice' configuration is set to 'Disabled'.
Otherwise, the resellers settle debts with the administrator using prepaid WHMCS credits and payments made by end clients are credited to the reseller's account directly.

In 'Payouts' section, apart from looking at the details it is also possible to perform the following actions: pay by PayPal (1) or WHMCS Credits (2) and mark the transaction as completed (3).
'Mass Payments' section enables you to make mass payouts to all selected resellers at once. You can choose from PayPal Payment (4), WHMCS Credits Payment (5) and set up proper
PayPal Configuration (6) by providing PayPal Application Key and Secret - both found within your PayPal account.

The 'Reseller Documentation' tab enables you to create and modify documentation visible to specified resellers. The documentation provides guidelines to help resellers handle their panels with ease.
You can create documentation in multiple versions - to add a new one, simply click the '+' button. Press the appropriate button located at the 'Actions' column to manage already formed documentation:

Choose the resellers to whom the documentation will be visible, enter the name of the documentation and its content.
You can use HTML tags as well as attach a PDF version of your documentation.
Once ready, click 'Save' to save your documentation.

From now on, our resellers will be encouraged to read the documentation from the welcome page, when they enter the Reseller Area for the first time.
Reseller can hide the welcome page by pressing "Do not show again". Even then, the documentation is accessible from the menu:

Access to the Reseller Area is granted only to those clients, to whom reseller's groups are assigned in Resellers Center For WHMCS module.

It is possible to log in as a client (1), make an order for a client (2), view client's details (3) and delete a client (4).

Remember to save changes.

Remember, you can define prices only within limits shown as placeholders.
If pricing is not provided, product, addon or domain will not be available for your clients.
You can also get here a direct cart URL to products group that you can share directly with your customers.

Please notice, that the available reseller configuration options may vary depending on the options you selected in the addon configuration and whether the 'Reseller Invoice' option was enabled for the reseller.

Note: Once the configuration of your brand is complete, your reseller will still need to set up a CNAME DNS record if domain is used.
This record will point from the branded domain towards reseller main domain used by WHMCS.

• For example: if 'Reseller Invoice' is disabled there will be an option to provide reseller PayPal email but reseller will not be able to configure available payment gateways on their own:

• However if 'Reseller Invoice' is enabled there will be an option to configure payment gateways by reseller or enable auto WHMCS invoice payments.

To edit an email template, press 'Edit' button next to the template you wish to alter.

Note: During this step you can easily add merge fields using dropdown menus marked on the following screen.

In this section, the reseller can set up their own payment gateway ('PayPal', 'Stripe' and 'Bank Transfer' gateways are currently available).
Thanks to this, all payments made by end clients are transferred directly to the reseller's PayPal account or bank institution.
The payments between the reseller and the administrator are settled through the reseller's previously supplied credit balance.

• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is 'Disabled', the listed invoices are generated between the end client and the site administrator.
• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is 'Enabled', the listed invoices are issued between the end client and the reseller directly.

Afterwards, when end client logs in to the WHMCS client area, he/she will be able to view and manage previously ordered products.
End clients can also list and pay invoices or create tickets (if these options are checked in the addon module).

Therefore, your reseller's clients can make orders on their own, using order forms in the client area.

It is only available for tickets department set in Resellers Center For WHMCS configuration.

Since version 3.x of the module end clients are treated as regular WHMCS clients.

In general Reseller receives a product from the Provider and then provides it further to the End Client.
Since the release of v3.0.0 the payment between the Reseller and Provider will be regulated by WHMCS credits but it can be also regulated manually or automatically to Reseller's PayPal account.

• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is Disabled, the invoices are generated between the end client and the site administrator.
• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is Enabled, the invoices are issued between the end client and the reseller directly.

For instance, if reseller's branded domain is 'reseller.com' and the domain with your WHMCS is 'whmcs.domain.com' , the CNAME needs to be 'www.reseller.com. CNAME whmcs.domain.com.'.
Note 1: As you can see above, each domain has to be closed with a full stop.
Note 2: To learn more about certificate requirements, visit the SSL Certificate section.

Only when you have parked your domains can you move to setting the CNAME records on your panels. See the tips below.

Note: This step is required only if you own more than one domain.

Note: To define the record's TTL, you have to use 'Advanced DNS Zone Editor'.

Note: Do not forget to place a full stop at the end.

Afterwards, proceed to the 'Websites & Domains' tab and press 'DNS Settings' .

Afterwards, proceed to 'Websites & Domains' tab and press 'DNS Settings'.

Finish by pressing 'OK'.
Note: The changes will take between 4 to 8 hours to update worldwide.

The supported types of certificates:

• Dedicated SSL Certificate - handled separately for each domain.
• Wildcard - if all brands and main WHMCS are using the same domain.
• SAN - if your brands and main WHMCS are using different domains.

This is the way WHMCS works. It is not the limitation of our module which is using 'WHMCS System URL' scheme.

Note: AutoSSL function will rather not work for CNAME entries so you should use virtual hosts (vhosts) instead.

Hiding a product or a group of products in the main WHMCS will also keep them hidden for reseller's end clients.
We will work on making this feature appear in the future releases of the module.

For example, reseller.com/main-whmcs-directory instead of reseller.com..
You can change that behavior through adding the below code to .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^main-whmcs-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/whmcs-directory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /whmcs-directory/$1 [R=301,L]

Result: If hostname is not main-whmcs-domain.com and path is not whmcs-directory', then redirect to resellers domain with /whmcs-directory.

3. Resellers Center For WHMCS is not compatible with our Multibrand For WHMCS module.
There is no integration between these modules and therefore we do not recommend using them together.

4. Please remember that Resellers Center For WHMCS works flawlessly with WHMCS V6 and V7 along with the officially supported Template 'Six'
In case you are using some custom template, you must be aware that unexpected errors might occur and we cannot take the responsibility for solving them.
